Breaking News: Pixel 8 Graphene build is out. Get it for XMR

This is the lemmy community of Monero (XMR), a secure, private, untraceable currency that is open-source and freely available to all.

Intel/AMD x86 or Apple's M-series ~~CPUs~~ SoC are a privacy dead end. No matter how much internal backdoors you deactivate, it can always auto-magically come back and bite you in the ass. RISC-V is definitely the future. Perhaps one day this architecture will become powerful enough to fluently run a Desktop Linux or a smart-phone. Then Monero might stand a chance.
Another example: merchants in Serbia aren't legally allowed to accept crypto directly, they must go through a third-party "money transmitter" licensed by the government. I suppose only transparent coins will be supported, and even then customers will be required to undergo a KYC/AML with the money transmitter. It's a shit show. A merchant simply showing a QR code to their own private wallet would be committing a tax fraud similar to accepting cash OTC and not through a cash register.

This is admittedly worrying since the war on privacy is being waged globally on both hardware and software fronts simultaneously.
Both fronts are a battlefield. Hamas slipped through Israeli intelligence in part because they evaded SoC backdoors using Huawei to coordinate.

RISC-V looks awesome, thanks. I had no idea and I agree, desktop RISC-V could be a great and viable future.
Serbian citizens will no doubt flout what is "legally allowed", as is their natural right via non-KYC/AML exchanges/swaps/local and long may it live.
Let's not forget this too when it comes to Monero, the global black market is worth trillions. The 3-letter agencies have a trillion-dollar vested interest in an untraceable off-the-books currency too. ZCash lost, XMR wins.
wow do you have a source link on the SoC backdoors huawei?
@ShadowRebel
no source.
